A little about me: Harry Potter. Angst. Latin. Reading writing 'Rithmatics (just kidding about that last one.) Drawing. Sleeping. Thinking. Laughing. Daydreaming. A lot more that probably wouldn’t interest you, but if it does, go to my homepage and look under About Me or whatever it is.

Favorite characters:Hermione, Draco, Ron, Harry, Ginny. Fred and George. The Weasleys. The majority of the Death Eaters. Narcissa and Lucius, Voldemort, Snape. Luna, Blaise, Theodore, Pansy. Lavender and Parvati. Lastly, Lily and the Marauders (excluding Peter… sometimes). Not sorted from most favored to least, and not including all the favored characters. I just can't think of anymore at the moment.

Major turn-offs in fics (for me): OCness. Nicknames that are based on fanon and not the actual series. Fanon personalities and characteristics (Draco being total sex-god; he isn't in the books!) Whole chapters dedicated to sex scenes. Sex scenes written by virgins! (Ugh, bugs me all the time.) Horrible spelling and grammar that it's hard to decipher what the hell the author was writing about. Misuse of adjectives. Flaming with no point; seriously, complain about what was wrong, not how you wasted your time reading it. That was entirely your fault. Things and people that appear in chapters just for a plot device and never to be seen again. Excessive author's notes that interrupt the flow of the fic (I despise them, but having at least one is understandable.) No one uses condoms when they have sex, it's always a Contraceptive Potion or spell. The drug is always Firewhiskey, never pot or ecstasy or some made-up Wizarding drug or alcohol. More complaints coming soon!

Fic Tendencies: Death. Latin. Angst. Major plot twists. Abuse. Memory erasing. Unhappy endings. The Dark people having more control. Kidnapping in some form. (What I hope is) believable romance. Swearing. Humor (dry, sexual innuendo, sadistic, ect). Putting little inside jokes in spots where they seem to belong. Slipping major clues into the story in very discreet ways (which no one has really been able to pick up yet... -grumble-). A bit of time-travel. Death Eater!Draco. Abusive!Lucius/Draco. References to HBP in pre-HBP stories (they work sometimes). Internal conflict. More shall be added soon!

If you’d like to know anything else about me, I'd go check out my homepage, which has a lot of info on my stories and a lot of other cool stuff, like many of the banners to the stories. I'm getting, and making, new ones eventually, but the old ones are up for viewing.

Attention: this story is post-HBP, but AU post HBP and with spoilers. It's a sort of alternate universe, but in the end will be (mostly) compatible with HBP, excluding the fact that Draco and Hermione never got together in the books, and certain deaths.

The day Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts, the student body succumbs to the vicious rumors like starving wolves to a piece of meat. Murders, speculation, and confirmed lies only invigorate the malicious boy who had undergone a disturbing transformation. However, no one premeditated Malfoy's fierce desire to be left alone, nor the rancorous, omnipotent attacks that accompanied it. But what rattled them all was the fact that Hermione Granger, more logical and cunning than the rest, would have the audacity to stand up to him.

Hermione Granger did not expect herself to become a detective; a turbulent relationship with Ron, and the figure of Voldemort hovering over the castle, they are the least of her troubles as Malfoy's fatal depression puts everything on the line. Through the visions of a shattered family and the desperate attempts to keep it together, the epiphany that only she can help Malfoy unlocks a traumatizing, unexpected event that no one could've predicted. Discovering she isn’t the only genius on the planet, the ever-looming horcruxes throw her into a mess that she must fix before her life, and everyone else's... is destroyed.

CHAPTER 9 FINALLY IN QUEUE!!! This story is NOT abandoned!

Note: This starts off with a Ron/Hermione ship that lasts a long time; if you can't stomach that ship, don't read it!
